OTA update the easy way - Sprint LG Optimus G

Can I just relock with Freegee accept ota and reroot? Or, is it more involved? After all the issues I've had on both of my phones, I don't want to have to LGPNST again.

You should be able to. As long as you don't have ANY mods at all. Apps should be fine.

No mods. Does the restore and backup button on Freegee take you to the stock bootloader and original locked state? Lots of trouble with TWRP on this phone. On the evo it worked perfect every time.

Yes. It should anyway. But if TWRP has been giving you issues, I'm not so sure I'd trust doing the ota. TWRP is our best recovery for now. You might want to update manually.

Yeah. I was noticing everyone doing the manual with radios etc. I guess I can always do LGPNST again. This phone is awesome and a pain in the ass at the same time

I'd love to know how this goes. I think I want to do the same thing. I'd rather just use freegee to re-lock it, then re-root after doing the JB update. However, if flashing the radios and then the stock rooted JB update is better then I'd do that. In fact I think that is the same steps as going with lifeless from ZV9 and if that is the case I may do that. Still, I'd love to know if this works while I try and figure out to go with Lifeless or Rooted Stock JB.

Very strange. Well, there's still a few options.
1. See if Sprint will swap it out. :/
2. Manually push the update.
3. autoprime and Shelnutt2 just put out a zvb.bin. You can get it from the irc for now. And make sure to follow the directions in the last post of my guide. It had to be modified to get it unlocked.

Here's what's happening... I was able to force the OTA by going to apps settings and choosing Google services from All clearing data then force close reboot setting updates lg software update. Accepted, process begins then red triangle and upon reboot, still on zv9. Just in case this helps us understand what's happening. Not eager to do anything with TWRP.

I may be wrong but it looks to me like you are on the official update. Do you still have root? Is your phone still s-off?

There are more than one dev who posted a rooted stock ROM so its hard to tell. When a new OTA comes out, a rooted stock ROM would be available soon after.
Thank you for all of the responses, I am enlightened. I am simply going to hold on this nandroid file and give the GB beta that is burning a hole in my pocket a try.

CA stands for California and I did a little research and this is what I found.
"According to an article in the business section of my newspaper, written by Dana Hull of mercurynews.com, the California Energy Commission on Thursday will consider adopting the nation's first energy-efficiency standards for battery chargers. The Commission staff says that these new regulations could (eventually) save the state as much as 2,200 GWh per year. The new regulations will cover every form of battery charger, from cell-phone chargers to industrial-sized chargers and would go into effect by January 2013. "
EDIT: Also with the 2nd LCD thing, I have no idea what that means but I googled it and found this. Seems to be people talking about enabling the 2nd LCD, like I said I have no idea. BUT I did read a few updates for other phones that enabled the 2nd LCD is getting them ready for Jelly Bean.

I checked the sources a few days ago, and zv9 does differ from zv8. I am not a kernel dev, so I'm not sure really how or how much, but I'm sure we can get someone who knows more to take a look at it.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I can confirm that stock v9 is unrootable meaning if you think you might want to unlock your bootloader and use custom roms its best to do so from v8. If you already upgraded to stock v9 and want to root and unlock you can use lgnpst to downgrade. This is what i did, the instructions for lgnpst are in the dev section. Theres a stock rooted v9 rom up right now so thats the way to go, plus you can get rid of bloatware.

To get the OTA System Settings -> System Updates ->Update LG Software.
I rooted ZV8 but left the bootloader locked, enabled supersu survival mode then ran the OTA. I was able to keep root.
I pulled the OTA Zip it has a boot.img and radio.img in it. The kernel and radio version appear to be the same though.
Post the boot.img from V9 please
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Probably just wait for a flashable zip since i have a unlocked bootloader and rooted. It is better then flashing the zv9 stock rom and loosing all my apps messages and settings plus pictures... Don't have the time to really do a one and done backup but for now I can wait for a flashable zip

Its not hard to root or unroot, although its normal to hesitate on potentially bricking anything as expensive as the GNII.
Just remember, you only have to unroot if you have to take the phone back. 70 bucks on an otterbox has me covered for the occasional slip. As far as flashing concerns, theres generally a way to unbrick everything but lets say the modem (which apparently already has a fix) or system is corrupt, the stock roms and triangle away app are available for flashing and reseting counters respectively.

I've never went through for warranty for a phone I bought outright but for the last company (virgin mobile) when I went for the warranty, I just unrooted the phone and locked the bootloader and it was fine. I don't think they would go all out to check if you rooted the phone. I forgot if they could check or not, but most of the time (IMHO) they wont. Unless they really don't want you to fulfill the warranty.
Well im willing to root lol stock is slow and it lags -_- and I hear some echo. When im on the phone.
Is this rootable?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
That's rootable. I just re-rooted after the update to LL4 two days ago.
I bought my phone in November, which means it's still under warranty - I've rooted and unrooted and rerooted the phone about 3 times now just to make sure I've got the process down and nothing weird happens to it.
The way I rooted that worked for me was to root using CF auto root through ODIN. Then to unroot, I ran Triangle Away, then unrooted through SuperSU full unroot, and for good measure, I ODIN'd the T-mo stock firmware back on the phone. At the end of that process, I was factory reset back to a clean phone with 0 flash counter and status was normal.
So now I'm rocking an unlocked, rooted, stock rom phone, and I love it.

Option 2 doesn't load a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). It just roots the phone, but you'll still have stock recovery. If you want a custom recovery, you'll need option 1.Or, flash the custom recovery separately after you do Option 2.
What about option num.3?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Option 3 only works if you're not on baseband LL4. Once you've updated to LL4, the exynos exploit was closed, so if you're still stock uprooted by LL4, then you'll need to do option 2.
If you're still on valk8, then yeah, you can use option 3.

Stock random reboots

Hello everyone. My wife has a newly purchased S4 from Tmobile. We rooted it right away and installed TWRP. Everything else is stock. Even kept the bloatware hanging around... She has had some random reboots from time to time not often but like 3-4 times since she has had the phone. Google searches turn up random bits of info so I thought I'd ask the experts here at good olé XDA. I've seen some advice to factory reset but wouldn't that lose root? Also some say it could be SD card related.. There is no common theme to it happening.. I guess we could return it. I was hoping to avoid that though... Any thoughts? Thanks for any help!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will lose root but it's better than the phone rebooting itself alot so if it still does it then try to flash a rom and if it still does it it might be the phone then

Factory reset won't actually loose root. Root stuff is stored in the system while factory resetting wipes the user's data. Factory reset through TWRP would be my first recommendation

You're probably getting reboots because of the method you used to root.
I was getting tons of problems with my phone because the way I previously rooted the device.
I used this way and I get absolutely no more problems.
Now, after you root with the above method, you will have to install a custom recovery (I recommend TWRP).
Do that through goomanager.
(Search goomanager in app store, install, open, hit menu, then hit "install custom recovery.)
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. She appears to be on an MDL baseband. Would it work with that? I forget exactly which thread I used to root it.. I used Odin and some zip files with TWRP and it seems like we had to do something with the bootloader... This was a few weeks ago.
And a follow up question. How would the rooting method effect the stability of the device, Causing RR added such?

Use the CF Autoroot method in the video I posted above and follow the steps i explained about goomanager.
You will love being rooted with TWRP from goomanager. You will then be able to flash custom roms which will make the phone a lot speedier and more responsive. In most cases, better battery life also.
(I am on the Darthstalker rom and it is super fast!)

Well great thanks! I will do this. We will most likely not flash a custom rom for her purposes. If I root per the method above would it be necessary to install TWRP via Goo? If we're not going to be flashing mods and roms to her phone I'm not sure what we would use it for...

No, it is NOT necessary to install TWRP, you can have the rooted device with the stock recovery on it with no problems .

[Q] Root for 4.3?

I'm getting some conflicting information and just wanted to get it straight.
I've been told by someone whom I think is reputable that it is possible to gain root after taking the 4.3 update.
I know from the Rumrunner S-off thread that S-off is not achievable yet but that doesn't necessarily mean rooting is impossible.
Can someone set me straight here? Is it possible to root 4.3 but still be S-on?
Thanks.

When the phone first came out you could unlock the bootloader at htcdev, but that lasted 1 day. I'm unaware of any ways to root without rumrunner.

Thanks.
I was under the impression one could root provided the phone was still running 4.2. In that case rumrunner would work. However I didn't think there was any way to root 4.3. Not go s-off, just root.

Yea, I had this phone s-off but I returned to stock to have the camera repaired so I got stuck on 4.3. I had a Verizon replacement but decided to keep this phone since it was perfect after the camera repair...glad I did! Can't wait to get s-off again.

Hopefully it won't require anything like the "wire trick" on the Rezound Don't really want to go through that again. Still, really looking forward to ridding myself of all the bloat.
Firewater will be posted when it's done. I believe it will root 4.3. I had a one on 4.3 never used it but for a day and realized the reception was horrible and so I called Verizon and complained and they sent me this one that is 4.2 now which I rooted.

Beaups has said it will. You will probably have to use the temp root method.

I'll revert to stock, locked and s on too to try it out after taking the ota so it should work. Anyone know if we have a decrypted ruu for 4.3 already, I already have all the others.

No there isn't one. Maybe you should wait for someone that really needs to unlock. It would suck bad to lose root over that. I've seen people lose root doing stuff like that before is why I don't advise it.

Yeah thats a good idea. I know there are members here with a stock s on phone with 4.3 so I should wait. I always ruu back to stock and root again after messing with my phone a lot, like changing cid to run a Google edition ruu, stuff like that. Done it twice on 4.2 with no issues.

Someone confirmed it works for 4.3 so root away.

I'm already rooted but might as well ruu to stock, get ota and then get firewater and might as well do it for fun.

Lol have at it.

So I ran firewater temp root, and it said everything was good to go.
However, I do not seem to have root access -- I tried Root Checker app and TWRP Manager.
Am I missing a step here? I'm running 4.3 OTA.
Thanks.
Flash a custom recovery and then a Rom of your choice. Twrp should mention if you have root or not.
